Technical Data Bulletin ® - RustoleumIBG.Com

Surface Preparation - Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt, excessive chalky material, grime,
grease, oil, wax, mildew, wallpaper adhesive or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion. If unsure, always
wash surface with a household ammonia and water solution, appropriate cleaning solution, or solvent (Do not use TSP as
a cleaner). Remove any unsoundly adhered coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth with the surface.
Lightly sand exposed exterior wood with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper to remove loose or
weathered wood fibers. Attempt to remove existing stains by washing, sanding, scraping, etc. Kill exterior mildew with
Zinsser JOMAX ® House Cleaner and Mildew Killer. Bare wood that has been exposed for more than 4 weeks should be
lightly sanded or abraded to remove weathered wood fibers. Countersink exposed nailheads and fill all nailholes and
gouges with Ready Patch ® . Remove interior mold and mildew before painting with a solution of one cup household
bleach per gallon of water or a quality biocidal wash. Rinse well. Always wear protective clothing and goggles to prevent
eye and skin contact with bleach. Do not mix ammonia or any other chemical with bleach solution. If you are concerned
about mold and mildew behind walls, underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other unseen areas, contact a
professional who specializes in mold and mildew remediation. For commercial buildings and schools follow appropriate
guidelines for mold removal. Remove rust and wipe metal with a cloth dampened in alcohol then apply a rust-inhibitive
primer. WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a
HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the

Application Conditions – Apply when air and surface temperature is between 0° and 90° F (-18° and 32° C) and
relative humidity is less than 70%. Do not apply B-I-N if surface temperature is within 15% of the dew point. Substrate
moisture content should not exceed 12%.
Application Methods – Shake or stir before using. Eliminate all sources of ignition. In most cases only one coat is
necessary to prime most surfaces. If excessive absorption occurs over very porous substrates a second coat may be
necessary. Spot priming
is recommended only under high-hiding topcoat paints. For best results prime entire surface before painting. Keep
container closed when not in use. Do not thin this product.
• Brush, Roller or Pad – Use natural or synthetic (nylon, polyester or blend)
• Airless Sprayer – Use .011” – .013” tip @ 800–1,200 PSI
• Conventional Sprayer – Spray at 45 – 55 PSI
Tinting – Add up to 2 oz. (59 ml) universal colorant per gallon. Tinting the primer toward the color of the topcoat helps
the paint hide in one coat. (Note that the addition of universal colorant may prolong the dry time of this product)
Dry Time – In most cases B-I-N will dry to the touch in 20 minutes and can be recoated in 45 minutes. The dry primer
film develops full adhesion after it cures in 1 to 3 days. Lower temperatures, higher humidity and the addition of tint will
prolong dry and cure time.
Coverage – – Approx. 500 sq. ft. (46 m2) per gallon on smooth, painted, non-porous surfaces; 400 sq. ft. (37 m2) per
gallon on rough, unpainted, porous surfaces. Application losses may vary according to the porosity and texture of the
substrate and the method of application and should be taken into account when estimating the quantity of product
needed.
Cleanup – Clean up spills and drips with denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent. If spills or drips have dried use
denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent to soften and remove primer. Wash application tools in a solution of 1 part
ammonia and 3 parts water immediately after use. If product has dried on application tool soak the tool overnight in a
solution
of equal parts ammonia and water. Scrub clean with a stiff brush. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when cleaning spray
equipment.
